Costco Member Prescription Program

No Insurance? Need a Prescription? Enroll at any your Costco Pharmacy and save on prescription medications!

The Costco Member Prescription Program (CMPP) is a prescription savings program for you and your family. It allows Members who have no prescription drug insurance or whose insurance does not cover all of their prescription medication to be the beneficiaries of Costco's commitment to member service, value, quality and product confidence. Costco is committed to passing on savings to the member and are able to do that by monitoring expenses taking lower markups, and now negotiating manufacturer/supplier discounts and passing those savings back to Costco members.

Enrollment in the Program is open to Costco members (and their dependents) who have no prescription drug coverage available. Anyone receiving benefits from a publicly funded health care program, such as Medicare or Medicaid, is not eligible.

To join, complete the enrollment form or at any participating Costco pharmacy and return it to your Costco pharmacist.

There is no additional charge for Costco members to participate in the Program.

This program is NOT insurance. The program is a value added benefit of Costco membership that provides eligible Costco members and their eligible dependents with the ability to obtain lower prices for certain prescriptions on the Program's Preferred Drug List.
